There is no need for publishing papers on personal websites when arxiv exists and is better.

Arxiv is preprint. Not peer-reviewed. Most times reviewed articles have critical changes before they reach their final, journal version.

Most if not all journals in my field allow you to upload the final accepted PDF that you have typeset in latex yourself to arxiv. We even put "accepted in $journal" and the DOI in the comment field. This includes all the changes you have made in response to referee comments. What you can not upload is the finial language-edited and nicely layouted version that the journal has build from your submission.
arXiv is not only for pre-printed. Whatever paper you legally put on your website can and should go there (or Zenodo, Figshare, OSF, etc).
